Lupin seems so caring, selfless, soft spoken
and introspective (notwithstanding the full moon episodes).

Lupin's combination of deep wisdom, selfless attitude, deep feeling,
calm exterior, and excellent methods of bringing out the best in
people, mark him out to me as Dumbledore's natural sucessor at
Hogwarts.

What say you?
Now me:
I say no. He's a Werewolf! I love him but the man turns into a
violent animal that kills on the full moon. Fantastic Beasts & Where
to find them rates Werewolves as XXXXX x 16: "A known Wizard killer /
impossible to train or domesticate who actively seeks out Human pray
above all others."
Of course, this is not Lupin's fault that's the tragedy of his life.
But what parent would ever allow such a person to be in charge of
their children? I have read in other posts the idea that Lupin
carries a decease like AIDS and there are defiantly similarities in
the way the public shuns him and are terrified of him and there are
lessons to be learn in tolerance and compassion from Lupins but this
is also very different. Lupin has a decease that turns him into an
uncontrollable mass murder once every month. There is not Headship in
his future.
